I have been having this tightness in my chest as the realization of what you are telling us has come into my awareness. You are speaking truth, but it is so heavy. I am older, but my heart aches for the generations to come. This is all the result of years of denying the importance of being active in keeping our democracy alive. We have each other, and we are all in God's hands, but this will be a very hard road.
This IS HAPPENING now! Our country is a police state! Even the Speaker of the House turned his gavel over to the president! The Supreme Court is giving power to the president and giving up their power. Lord help US! Lord is leaving us to our own devices, as He did in Germany, as He did in Babylon... Wash, rinse, repeat. "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion,"
Isn't this of the same stripe as Hitler's SS in Nazi Germany and the KGB in Soviet Union? Has anyone studied how those got started? I just posted this link to my FB page. Not sure what to expect but bracing for some pushback.
Thanks for keeping it real, Jemar. We need truth tellers who light a fire under us. Our military, especially National Guard, has been turned into trump's army, even though the oath they take is to the constitution/country, not the president.
I hope you are hearing about all of our military members who are recognizing what is happening and asking for help in determining what to do. They do not want to follow illegal orders, so they are seeking advice. People in the military are just like us other Americans. We are all in a very hard place.
Thanks for sharing the insights on ICE's free reign to carry out the regime's agenda. Also, I note the revenge factors being put in place: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/us/politics/justice-department-rioter-weaponization.html?unlocked_article_code=1.TU8.Ca0z.mL2eqgFXGXkh "A former F.B.I. agent who was charged with encouraging the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to kill police officers has been named as an adviser to the Justice Department task force that President Trump established to seek retribution against his political enemies.
The former agent, Jared L. Wise, is serving as a counselor to Ed Martin, the director of the so-called Weaponization Working Group, according to people familiar with the group’s activities."
Hardly, from the German perspective, a forewarning. Please take action - unless you are willing to forfeit your rights and, more importantly, are willing to have others forfeit their rights.

I find this disturbing -- an overreaction?
